New Blood Brothers HardCover Editions

My next Kickstarter campaign will feature new hardcover editions of the four Blood Brothers medieval Scottish romances. It will launch on February 13 and run through the 24th.

As you know, the books are all available in ebook, in trade paperback and in large print hardcovers right now – plus the first two are available in audio. I’ve been able to simplify this campaign since I have a better idea what you all like. 🙂 We’ll focus on the signed books this time.

I’ll show you the new covers when they’re done – they’ll have couples on the case laminate and no people on the dust jacket. There will be postcards of the new images, coloring pages, stickers and a MAP, as well as a Blood Brothers world guide in ebook. The Early Bird special is a set of four vellum inserts, one for each book, that go along with the set of signed copies of all four new hardcovers. The vellum images will be the cover art from the current trade paperbacks.

The preview page is live at Kickstarter now, and you can follow it to be notified when the campaign launches.

Videos of the New Bride Quest Editions

Once all the copies of all the new Bride Quest 25th anniversary commemorative editions arrived, I made a video to show them off.

The video is about 6 mins long, showing the new hard cover editions, the new mass market editions and comparing them with the current trade paperback editions. The original mass market edition of The Princess gets a cameo, too.

Watch the video on my YouTube channel.

These editions were launched with a Kickstarter campaign, which offered them early and signed to campaign backers. They’re available now for pre-order at the portals for delivery in November.

Here are the portal links for the mass market paperback editions.

All Six New Bride Quest Illustrations

I wanted to gather all of the new illustrations in one post to show them off, so here they are!

These illustrations appear on the case laminate of the new Bride Quest hardcover editions and on the cover of the new mass market paperback editions. The new editions to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the original publication of The Princess will be available in November and are available for pre-order now.

Christmas at Tullymullagh is a Bride Quest story and #7 in the series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix
Easter at Airdfinnan is an epilogue to the Bride Quest II trilogy, set six years after the end of The Temptress.

Buy Links for New Bride Quest Hard Cover Editions

The links have percolated out to the portals for the new mass market and hard cover editions of my Bride Quest books commemorating the 25th anniversary of the publication of The Princess. Here they are, all gathered in one place. The landing pages for the individual books have also been updated with the links. These books deliver November 20. Not all of the links have populated at all of the portals yet, but they will.

Because there are so many links, this post features the new hard cover editions. Yesterday’s post featured the new mass market editions.

Remember that the hardcover editions include both a dust jacket and a case laminate with the new illustration for the book. They also have the Bride Quest family trees in the back.
